A new charity will hold a yardsale to raise money needed to register as a nonprofit organization.

Project Endless Agape, which for two years has been donating winter clothing and food to the homeless in Philadelphia, began when co-founder Bradford Moran won $127 in lottery tickets he had received as Christmas presents.

Moran put the money away and used it to fund the group’s first trip to Philadelphia. Since then, Project Endless Agape — which takes its name from a Latin phrase meaning “unconditional love” — has made several more trips to the city, hosted a toy drive and helped find a new home for a family displaced by Hurricane Sandy.

“These last two years, everything we’ve done, we’ve done without being a nonprofit,” said Moran, who runs the group with his cousin, Lauren Stevens. “It’s harder to get donations when you don’t have tax-exempt status.”

The application process for nonprofit status costs a total of about $600.

“We have a bunch of plans for as soon as we get that, “ said Moran. “This is all to help us help more people. This will all go directly to the streets to help the homeless and hurting.”

He said the most important aspect of each trip was the direct interaction between volunteers and people in need.

“When we go out on these trips, we’re handing it directly to them,” said Moran. “We’re just showing that there are people who care about them.”

The yardsale will be held Oct. 12 at 47 Longwood Drive, Sicklerville, beginning at 8:30 a.m.
